Been baiting for 10 years and he's still getting the fish. Funny (but perhaps sad?) thing is if someone else posted an unbiased scouting report of Nassib and wanted a serious discussion, it would only be a 3 page thread at the most. Maybe it's time to accept that some of this MB might enjoy giving other posters crap more than actually discussing football lol.

No one is pushing Eli out but one day you have to pass the torch. maybe its 3 years from now maybe its 6-7 we dont know.

Hold the phone for a second...are you saying Eli won't be our starter forever?

"I was disappointed that Eli did not lead his team in that brawl. I'm not saying I would have completely lost respect for him as a leader if I were on the squad but that kind of suspect behavior would definitely have me eyeing him sideways"...elitikistrahan

That's a rough thing all ball players have to persevere. If you guys didn't read the article today's Record about Roman Oben's transition out of football, I recommend you do.

As an older fan, I've watched many of my childhood "heroes" retire - most not by choice, and it is a sad day. We all wish we could turn back the clock but obviously we can't.

The only thing we can do is appreciate their careers (in real time) and see where the road leads us. Enjoy the good times and accept the struggles, as no one is perfect. Suggesting that a certain player will accomplish this or fail at that is totally meaningless - unless of course you've backed it up with a sizable wager.

One of the toughest things our front office must do is to deal with the inevitable that 'father time' and this brutal game has wreaked on these players. It's something that I never take lightly.
